MARY ELIZABETH KING, (Joseph Warren, John Bowker, Joseph, Capt. Joseph, James, William1), born in Lima, Allen Co., Ohio, Nov. 18, 1842; married in Xenia, O., May 8, 1873, Rev. Gershom Moore Peters, son of Gershom Moore and Miranda (Berry-nee Eaton) Peters, born Aug. 31, 1843. Mr. Peters' ancestors were from Hampshire Co., Virginia and his grandfather, Tunis Peters, served in the Revolutionary War from that county. Mr. Gershom Peters was born on a farm near Circleville, Pickaway County, Ohio. His father was a surveyor and surveyed the present site of Columbus, O., while it was still a dense forest; and part of the city now occupies his old farm, as does the cemetery which received its name, Greenlawn, from the wife of Mr. Peters, Sr. Mr. Gershom M. Peters when scarcely eighteen years of age enlisted in the 17th Regt. Ohio Volunteers for service during the Civil War and was with his regiment in Kentucky for seven months when he was honorably discharged and sent home to die, as it was presumed, of consumption, but an out-door life re-established his health which had always been delicate. He graduated from the Denison University in Granville, O., in 1865, and from Rochester, New York, Theological

Seminary in 1869. For twelve years he was an esteemed minister in the Baptist Church, his chief service being in Buffalo, N. Y. The death of his father-in-law, Mr. Joseph Warren King, leaving a large business with no sons to look after it, made it necessary for him to leave the work of the ministry and assume Mr. King's business, the duties of which were foreign to his experience and taste; but he became eminently successful therein. He was the inventor of what was probably the first successful cartridgeloading machine ever used in America, and his inventive genius seems to have been an inheritance from his grandfather, Louis Peters, who was extremely apt in several trades. Mr. and Mrs. Peters' children were born in Buffalo, N. Y. Res. Cincinnati, O. ISSUE:

EMMA CORNELIA KING, (Joseph Warren, John Bowker," Joseph, Capt. Joseph, James, William'), born in Lima, Allen Co., Ohio, Dec. 14, 1848. Residence The Kingdom, Xenia, Ohio.

The Misses King (Isadora and Emma Cornelia) reside in the old homestead known as "The Kingdom," which has sheltered four generations of their family. Miss Emma Cornelia King has traveled extensively not only throughout the United States, but also in Europe and elsewhere. While in England she obtained much valuable information concerning the English ancestry of the King family and its coat of arms. Visiting France she devoted considerable time to the investigation of the French Huguenot ancestry of the Devotion (de Vaution) family and its armorial bearings. It will be recollected that Captain Joseph3 King, (James," William'), of Suffield, Conn., married Hannah Devotion, daughter of Rev. Ebenezer3 Devotion (John,2 Edward1 of Roxbury and Brookline A. D. 1645). Miss Emma C. King kindly furnished to the compiler of this Genealogy the very valuable results of her researches.

JOSEPH TOTTEN KING, (Louis," Roger, Lt. Eliphalet,* Capt. Joseph, James, William1), born in New York City, Dec. 25, 1838; died May, 1875, without issue. He served with the Union Army on the Potomac during the War of the Rebellion and contracted therein, shortly after the second battle of Bull Run, in which he was engaged, the disease from the effects of which he eventually died. From one of his letters to his sister, Miss Mary E. King, dated Sept. 30, 1862, the following is an extract: "Your letter which I received at Harpers Ferry has been unanswered a long time but the circumstances were such that it was impossible to write, as the Rebels had surrounded us and the communication was cut off. All of our telegraph and mail matter fell into their hands.

"You probably are aware that the Regiment to which I belonged was captured together with the rest of the garrison, numbering between 800 and 1000 men by the rebels under General Stonewall Jackson on the 15th of September. We were in their hands only two days. During that time we were treated as gentlemen, and had everything we could wish for under the circumstances."
